I do Hoover300, I do have a nice set of black wheels and two grey handle grips. Jim

Liam 505 light cap trim Liam, If you can find an original grey light cap trim, you can use it to replace the light cap trim on the 505. I replaced the light cap trim on my 508 doing this. You will need to paint it black, and cut to size, but it can be done. Using new tan light cap trim will...

sorry Doug, I for the most part only have spare Kirby parts. Jim

Liam Here are the pictures of the 2C parts I have up for grabs.

Interesting find I remember someone here saying there were a number of different grey DuPont plastic wheels that Kirby made, and while cleaning up these grey wheels I found 5 different types. In pic#1 shows all 5 with the first 515 style at the top with the smooth wheel face and smooth tread...

2C handle Liam, The handle I have has been painted white, but you can easily paint it black again, but I wanted to let you know. I will go out to the shop today and pull out the parts and take a few pictures for you to see. I also have some 505 parts as well. Jim

Liam If you see this thread I'm willing to let go of my Kirby 2C handle, and I also have the nozzle with bumper trim and belt cap. If needed. Let me know. Jim

Jack I do have a number of 518 wheels if you need some.

I'm looking for the young person who was in need of a Kirby 2C handle and nozzle trim. I have these items and I'm willing to let them go. I have decided to start letting go of some of my collection, and parts. Please let me know if there is anything that you might need or be interested in, Jim

Kenmore made by Britman The Kenmore's were made by Britman for Sears, I believe my Apollo was also made by Britman and this Apollo is the same as the Kenmore model 19. I would also like to find one to go with my Kenmore Deluxe, and Kenmore Jr. Deluxe. Jim

I agree with Charles, It's nice to see the rare original two-tone cord on your Kirby, Take care of it. Jim

Last year was a very nonproductive year for me as far as my collection is concerned. I only restored one small hand vac, The 1935 Kenmore deluxe Jr. I haven't seen any vacuums for some time now that I would be interested in adding to my collection. I hope that changes this year and I can find...

There is a set of rare smooth Kirby 515 wheels for sale on eBay. These wheels are the rarest of the Kirby 500 series. If you are restoring a Kirby 515 and need a set here is your chance to score some. Jim...

WOW!! Very nice work! It looks fantastic! Jim
